T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, S. P. GRAHAM, of Richland Centre, in the county of Steuben, and State'of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Constructing Carriage Bodies; and I do herebyr declare that the following is a. full and complete description of the sanne, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is u side view of the carriage body.

Figure 2 is a top view.

Figure 3 is ay view of the -Dack of' lthe same.

Like letters refer to like parts in the different views presented.

A, g. I, represents the side of the body; B, fig. 2, the back; Cfthe bottom 'of the seat; Dpthe backiof the same; E, the bolitom of the carriage body, which muy be' of wood, if desired. This carriage body is composed of lsheet metal, and is made up in sections, the sides, back, and seat being all separate. They are struck up or pressed in dies, which give the panels F. These are ornamental, a-nd may be of any pattern desired.

The ange G is also struck up, for the purpose hereafter shown. The sections composing the bodjr are fastened together by any desirable means. A small cleat, a, extends around the bottom, which, with the angeG before referred to, forms a channel, b, into which the bottom E is pla-ced, and thus held securely. The side pieces A extend from c to the lines d, where they are attached to the back piece B, which extends from d to d. The back of the seat extends from the line e to the line where it is connected to the seat C, which extends from f to g. The seat is attached to the side pieces at the line LL Thus the main bod)r of the carriage is composed of about tive pieces, each one of which is struck up or formed at one operation. V

What I claim :is my invention, and desire to seeureiby Letters Patent,.is-

A carriage body made of sheet metal, formed in parts or sections, connected together in the mztnner shown and described, as o. new article of manufacture.
